They have placed themselves in an unsafe situation and now are blaming the govt for not taking care of themhard to be sympathetic to that... much easier to be sympathetic to the 100 of 1,000's who are in the process of rebuilding their lives and not sitting around complaining about the govt not running to their aid.

It amazes me how many cold and unfeeling some americans are.Its amazing how some people choose to be anonymous.Let me know your name because if anything ever happens to you by any means, even through no fault of your own, I won't help you. Hell, I will even blame you for letting it happen.

A lot of New Orleans residents and others had no transportation to get out. They went over to the convention center like they were advised to do but I don't see any water or food drops. What the heck?Lets all put pressure on our states to help and maybe get some of these survivors to our states.Also FEMA can stop the press conferences to get these survivors what they need for the short term so they can get bussed out.

i dont think any of you understand that the us gov doesnt have the resources to save every last soul. yes it's bad but people should have gotten out earlier. anyone in the superdome is being brough over to houston. they do what they can but its only so much

Troy, I'm glad to see things are better. I called to ask Jim IV if I should send the armed coonass patrol for you, now I may send them to you for backup. Now we're getting reports of looting in Houston, Baton Rouge and Lafayette. Today, the Hibernia here in New Iberia closed for all business except drive thru business. I did see today free housing for Katrina refugees in Boulder. By the way, I hope you have a different gun than you did up there.Next time y'all go sailing on The Reason Why I'm bringing the beer.Hope to see you soon.

Don't you realize that a large number of the people who stayed behind did so because they are poor or old or sick and could not afford transportation out, or $$ to stay somewhere else? Were there means provided to evacuate the entire city, or did people just say "get out"?
